Name that Wave
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.
What is amplitude?
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.
What is refraction?
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
A mirror that is curved
What is concave.
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
These waves have the highest frequency.
Gamma
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
The interaction between waves that meet.
What is interference?
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
A longitudinal seismic wave.
What is a P wave?
EM waves travel through
Empty space or a vacuum
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
visible light is
ROYGBIV
